"Donald Schlessinger once publicly fell for what might be called a "sucker bet". Does it follow, and does it meet objective analysis, that Donald Schlessinger is a "logic-challenged arrogant moron?""

Did he still fall for it after thinking about it for dozens of hours and being told by acknowledged experts he was wrong? And did he then go on to write up his faulty analysis?

Glenn Beck has been heard to admit he's a clown. Really, he self-applies that exact term. I think he just might be correct. His heart is in the right place but that's about it.

The Laffer curve is conservative gospel, requires no explaination among the clique. It's just assumed to be true and most everyone also assumes that our current point on the curve is one where even lower tax rates generate greater revenue.

Together, those two points make your example poor.

Incorrect. Because in the piece I was referring to, Glenn Beck did not have his clown hat on but rather had his teaching hat on. He was trying to be scholarly and logical and he was talking to the masses. He wasn't talking to people who were assuming we were on a certain point on the curve.
